    DM thats the most important part of the build - aligning the neck. Looking from the front of the guitar standing upright I drill the bottom left hole 1st, put the screw in (without the neck plate), then clamp the neck aligned and drill the top right screw, screw that in. Drill a 3rd hole, then remove the clamp, remove all the screws and put the neck plate on. Screw the 3 pre-drilled holes in then drill the 4th hole. Every time you drill make sure the neck is aligned.
    There's 100 ways to do this but very important. Strings just have to have enough tensions so you can see the offset of the string/fingerboard
    Good luck !

    Love the colour and nice choice on the scratch plate. That's a good looking TL
